JAA/EASA PPL Air Law & Operational Procedures

The introduction of the Joint Aviation Authorities' Private Pilot Licence has brought with it a change in the way Air Law is examined.

This computer-based training course is designed to help you absorb, understand and retain those aspects of Air Law that you need to master as a practising private pilot, as well as to prepare you for your theoretical examinations for the JAA PPL or the UK National PPL.

Air Law is a subject which, because of the new JAA/EASA regulations, is evolving rapidly. Students must always refer to the latest official publications to stay abreast of developments.

 CONTENTS

  • Aviation Law & Legislation
  • Rules of the Air
  • Air Traffic Regulations & Air Traffic Services
  • Aerodromes

JAA/EASA PPL Human Performance & Limitations

A thorough examination of the demands of the flying environment on the human organism will illustrate to you the obligation on all pilots to keep fit and to lead a healthy life style if they are to operate efficiently and safely in the air. The course also covers the basic psychological considerations of piloting, by stressing the demands that flying places on a pilot's faculties of perception, communication, judgement and decision making, and by pointing out some important limitations of those faculties.

This CBT course aims to teach you, as efficiently and enjoyably as possible, what you need to know to help ensure that you never become a human factor in any aircraft accident. At the same time, being fully compliant with the JAA PPL theoretical knowledge syllabus, it will assist you in the more mundane, but nonetheless important, task of preparing for your PPL ground examinations in Human Performance and Limitations.

JAA/EASA PPL Flight Performance & Planning

A companion subject to 'Aircraft Performance' is 'Mass & Balance'. Whatever the phase of flight, it is vitally important that the location of the aircraft's centre of gravity always remains within the limits specified by the design of the aircraft. If the centre of gravity falls outside these limits, the aircraft's flying characteristics will be adversely affected and the aircraft may ultimately become uncontrollable. Pilots need to understand thoroughly the role played by the position of the centre of gravity. The 'Mass & Balance' section of this CD-ROM covers all the necessary knowledge and principles to enable you, the pilot, and the aircraft captain, to check that your aircraft is correctly loaded and balanced for safe and efficient operations.

As a pilot, you must at all times be aware of what forces are acting on your aircraft, both on the ground and in the air. These forces are generated by a combination of the static loads carried by your aircraft and the dynamic loads generated when your aircraft is accelerating, whether in a straight line, in turning flight or when recovering from a dive or aerobatic manoeuvre.

Oxford Air Training - The Navigation Computer

This CD-ROM training course aims to teach you every functionality of the flight navigation computer. The flight navigation computer is also known as the ‘whizz wheel’ or dead reckoning computer. In dead reckoning a navigator uses a chart and a known position in order to predict a future position. This method relies on very accurate measurement of aircraft heading, distance covered, ground speed & time taken. In the early decades of manned flight, before the invention of radio, inertial and satellite navigation aids, dead reckoning was the only way of navigating accurately.

Pilot training programmes require all student pilots, whether private or professional, to learn how to use the whizz-wheel, more commonly known as the flight navigation computer.

The Navigation Computer Training CD features:

  		•  Eleven fully illustrated lessons, numerous animations and worked examples guide you through the principles of operations of the instrument.
  		•  Each lesson features animated full-colour graphics, voice-over narration and textual key points.
  		•  Includes comprehensive coverage of the theory of the Triangle of Velocities.
  		•  Comprehensive random questions facility.
  		•  Fully interactive virtual navigation computer which you can use in place of an actual instrument.
  		•  Ideal both for student pilots, wishing to learn how to use the navigation computer for the first time, and qualified pilots seeking to refresh existing skills.

    OAT JAA PPL Exam Preparation

    PPL EXAM PREPARATION - Optimise your preparation for the PPL Examinations with this interactive Exam Preparation disk containing over 1550 questions and answers.

    For the student working towards a Private Pilot's Licence, three important test hurdles have to be cleared. They are the two flying skills tests- General Handling and Navigation - and the theoretical knowledge examinations, often referred to as the "ground exams."

    Passing the ground examinations requires two types of preparation. You must, of course, learn thoroughly all the subject matter in the different theoretical knowledge disciplines, but then, before you sit the actual examinations, you must also familiarise yourself with the level of difficulty and style of the PPL examination questions themselves. This PPL Examination Preparation CD-ROM from Oxford Aviation Training - one of the world's leading pilot training schools - enables you to do just that.

    In addition to all the questions from the complete set of the renowned OAT/Transair PPL Ground Training CD-ROMs, over 540 new questions have been added to this Exam Preparation CD-ROM, making over 1550 questions in all. Using the CD-ROM, you can test yourself on individual examination subjects, or attempt a complete PPL-style examination paper. The CD-ROM will mark your work, give you your result and indicate the questions that you have answered wrongly, inviting you to select the correct answer.
